Since I bought and use Perfect Layout, I have almost eliminated the need for most other plugins. However, two that I use a lot are JW Polyphony and JW Change.

The topic here is smufl and JW Change. There are some places where JW Change doesn't understand the new fonts. Maybe because they don't occupy the same places or numbering sequence or whatever. Also, Jari Williams hasn't upgraded them (any of his plug-ins) for quite some time. Who knows why? Lost interest, busy elsewhere doing other projects?

But Finale has a "Change" feature. If Jari Williams doesn't want to do upgrade, MM should buy it from Jari and replace the anemic utility 'Change' with Jari's. JW Change just might be the most powerful plug-in ever. It has extensive adjustable settings, filters, that Finale Change can't even come close to matching.
